Icebreaker (facilitation)

An icebreaker is a brief facilitation exercise intended to help members of a group begin the process of working together or forming a team. They are commonly presented as games to "warm up" a group by helping members get to know each other and often focus on sharing personal information such as names or hobbies.[1]

Many people dislike icebreaker games.[2][3]
